I'm sure most afermarket seats will fit on the Revo. They won't go into the plugs on the bottom of the seat, but you can attach them with front and rear straps like a traditional kayak seat. You may need to add 2 Pad Eyes behind the seat to attach the rear buckles, but with the adjustable rear straps you can probably just add it on & avoid doing any sort of modification.

Here is a Surf To Summit seat on my Hobie Adventure. No modifications needed to eitehr the seat or the kayak. It would probably be the same on the Revo.

Surf to Summit makes a very high quality seat, and that is where I'd start my search. Go see OEX and try a few seats on their Revo's I'd bet you will find a few that will work

pre 2013 could use these pegs on most after market seats to keep the seat in place. Just make the holes with a soldering iron or heat up a screw driver

I have a revo, and this seat works fine.

I had a outback that I put a Surf To Summit seat on and it worked out great. I am not sure if a revo has a narrower seating area then a outback thow.

the upgrade for stock hobie seat. you can add a liner / air cushion , to stock seat which will improve seat dramatically . this will make it as good as any after market seat . iceman can give part # and price. i would highly recommend it . and of course ice will take care of you.

Andy, Is there a "GEL" upgrade available for the Hobie seats?
